Popular cultural influences of Stephen Hawking

in #technology6 years ago

Stephen Hawking has also played an important role in the popular culture with the albums he contributed to with his series and voice.

Stephen Hawking may have researched the stars, but he was also a star himself. The day we passed the 76-year-old lost his life and the unique physicist shared with humanity will continue to live with us forever. Not only the gravitational singularity or the great inventions on black hole mechanics, but also the humility. Hawking, which is as modest as the modern scientist who carries the name of a radiation type, has emphasized these qualities in his own unique way in popular culture.

Movies

Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Errol Morris made a film in 1991 on Hawking's most well-known book, The Short History of Time. However, the life story, which is as important as the later work, has also moved to cinemas. First, in 2004, he starred in the role of young Stephen Hawking in the BBC's Hawking movie by Benedict Cumberbatch, and later in his 1955 film Eddie Redmayne's Oscar Best Actor Award for Every Shadow Theory.

Television

It would not be wrong to say that the unique physicist Matt Groening is a fan of The Simpsons and the Futurama line-ups. Hawking at the 2004 British Comedy Awards presented Matt Groening with a lifetime achievement award, and Groening gave a small toy model of the character in the famous physics Simpsons. Hawking, who has been at least four times at The Simpsons, has appeared many times in Futurama, including Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye and George Takei.

However, Stephen Hawking participated in talk shows of some comedians. Conan spoke with Jim Carrey, who was looking for him on the program and made a comic and informative interview with John Oliver in 2014.

Albums and Videos

In 2014, Hawking's voice appeared in Pink Floyd's songs for the second time with the Keep Talking album 20 years after Divison Bell's album. A year later Hawking voiced the song "The Galaxy Song" in 1983's Monty Python and The Meaning of Life.

It is important to remember that the week of Hawking's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Guide is the second in the radio program that started broadcasting on BBC Radio 4 in memory of the 40th anniversary of Guide Book Mark 2. The legendary quantum chess encounter between Hawking and Paul Rudd, which Keanu Reeves contributed in the past few years, is still a smile.

Finally, you do not think that one of the greatest minds in the world, like Stephen Hawking, will join the viral video stream, right? But Hawking had an important reason to do it. The Ice Bucket Challenge was aimed at raising awareness about AlS disease, which caused Hawking to lose his ability to move and speak since his youth. Of course, since Hawking had previously had pneumonia, his children volunteered and they supported this flow.

We will miss Stephen Hawking, who has contributed to the whole humanity as much as the theoretical physique and has loved many personalities.
